Definitions

  • the present invention has been achieved in views of the above-described conventional problems and intends to provide a rocker arm installed module which can be formed into a module by installing a cam shaft, a rocker arm and a pivot onto a housing while preventing the rocker arm from dropping off.
  • the rocker arm installed module of the second aspect of the present invention is also so constructed by installing the cam shaft, the rocker arm and the pivot to the housing. Then, by disposing the housing in this installed state to the cylinder head, the stem front end portion of the engine valve which is disposed slidably on the cylinder head can be engaged with the rocker arm in the housing, so as to form a valve opening and closing mechanism for an engine.
  • the cam shaft includes a plurality of the cams, a plurality of the rocker arms are disposed in parallel along the axial direction of the cam shaft corresponding to the quantity of the cams, and the inserted drop-off preventing means include an inserted drop-off preventing pin which is provided in the housing in parallel to the cam shaft and capable of preventing a plurality of the rocker arms from dropping off.
  • a suction side cam shaft 3A which rocks the rocker arm 4 for opening and closing the suction valve 7A disposed on the suction port 62A and an exhaust side cam shaft 3B which rocks the rocker arm 4 for opening and closing the exhaust valve 7B disposed on the exhaust port 62B are provided.
  • the suction side cam shaft 3A is provided with a plurality of the cams 31 corresponding to the quantity of the suction side rocker arms 4A
  • the exhaust side cam shaft 3B is provided with a plurality of the cams 31 corresponding to the quantity of the exhaust side rocker arms 4B.
  • the rocker arm 4 drives the roller 42 with a rotation of the cam 31 and rocks vertically around the pivot 5 so as to open/close the engine valve 7.
  • the rocker arm installed module 1 can be installed separately from the cylinder head 6 and can be carried individually. Further, the housing 2 is provided with the aforementioned drop-off preventing projection 21.
  • the rocker arm 4 is disposed among the cam 31 of the cam shaft 3, the pivot 5 and the drop-off preventing projection 21. Consequently, the rocker arm 4 is supported from a lower position by the pivot 5 and the drop-off preventing projection 21, so that it is prevented from dropping off upward by the cam 31.
  • the rocker arm installed module 1 can prevent the rocker arm 4 from dropping off of the housing 2.
  • the housing 2 of this embodiment is provided with the inserted drop-off preventing pin 26 for supporting the rocker arm 4 of which an end is disposed on the pivot 5 from dropping off within a rocking range when the rocker arm 4 is actuated.
